They did somewhat the samething with the first AC teaser, however that one had small CG footages in it.

Ubisoft confirmed that Desmond will be in it, he is one of the main characters of AC universe, why wouldn't he return?
All the memories you gain is from Desmond and they have to reveal more as the games go forward.

PS. I love the voice actor Ubisoft picked for the trailers for AC, sounds so mysterious and moody.

i know desmond SHOULD return, i said why a few pages back. but you never know with ubi, they may just drop that idea entirely and focus more on the period gameplay. wouldnt make sense, but would make things easier for them.

where was it comfirmed anyway? would like to read it.

Desmonds is a part of the big picture, of why he has a link to a hidden assassin clan and what makes him remember all this and what the "others" want from him.

Many questions with many possibilites.

About confirmation about Demond being in is there, read it, but don't know where.

i know all that.

shame you dont know where you read it, cos i aint seen anything confirming he's in. although i'm sure he will be. he bloody well should be.

Direct quote from the Q&A on the front page:My guess is, that the game will be similar to AC1, where Desmond will enter the Animus to access the memory of his ancestor. Hopefully we'll be able to look around the research facility to find some background story.

yeah, i guess some more doors will mysteriously unlock between each assassination. thus revealing more and more clues. i'd love to know what we end up using the pens for tho, i picked up 2 in the first game and i'm pretty sure i didnt use them at all? or maybe i did but just forgot.

i think you'll end up with a collection which you'll use as throwing knives...hahaha...nah, that'd be stupid.

I liked the idea that you could find story tidbits if you explored the lab, eventhough it was a bit artificial.The pens gave you access to laptops so you could read some e-mails that revealed a bit of background story.

I would like to have more exploration in the facility, to be able to run, walking so damn slow was annoying.

But more story and show ups from the lab and all would be great, or atleast more cutscenes to show more from modern day aspect.

Ubisoft said no more cutscenenes, its more of a QTE...whatever that means.

ah yes, thats what they where for. i remember picking up a pen early on and not having a clue what it was for. but yeah, once you where left alone you could access their accounts on the PC's.

weird way to tell the story tho. good, but bad at the same time. since most of the people i know who played the game hated the story since they only got the altair part....making the rest optional was imo a bad idea on ubisofts part, since now most people think the story sucks....when in reality it was really quite good....if you read the emails.

screen shots.

WOWOW! Impressive!

Gr8 post KORNdog!

Hoping its better this time and the gameplay doesn't get repetitive.

Thoes are the exact same shots from the Game Informer magazine?

yes, but now postable on gamersyde without fear of a ban...lol

and in a much better quality too! Thanks KORN.

I don't need to say "it looks good" and so on everytime a new batch of screen comes out. I know the visuals, art looks good..but gameplay is needed and the actual game not being repetitive in terms of the missions!

Debut trailer coming this weekend!

I hope they do a trailer like "Altair was here" for the first AC, but this time "Ezio was here".
That trailer for AC really set the mood and atmosphere for me, loved it (yes it was CG but non the less).
And some gameplay footage wouldn't hurt.

If they fix the problems of the first one with this count me in if not then ...eewww

to easy, there was no skill involved
Repetive ... was bored after a hour
More to assasinate, what was it like 6 kills ?

I loved the style and art but they need to vary it a bit more, you know ...colour.

I agree. They better have come up with a way more interesting missions structure or it's a pass for me no matter how good it looks.

Same goes for AC2 first leaked video not much to look at but a QT event.

Yeah more story related kills with actual setups of guards patrolling and stuff for you to play around with and less killing a few guys harassing random women in the street :P

Even GAME is going to sell these.

I think he looks Hideous in black.

Anyway, this special edition is quite something. Wonder what it'll be priced at though.

Wait is that only for the PS3 edition?

Dammit I want it too but I only have a 360 =(

http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/10287842/Assa...

for 360 too.

he definately looks cooler in black. it really brings out the red.

any word on the size of this figure? i have the 12 inch altair and it'd be nice to have this guy next to him in the same scale, if he's smaller then i'll probably just end up renting the game.
